AIP Friendly Garlic Herb Pan-Seared Pork Chops

Thick, bone-in pork chops seared to a deep golden crust in a cast iron skillet — this is the kind of weeknight dinner that feels far more impressive than the effort involved. The seasoning blend of turmeric, ginger, and sea salt keeps things warming and aromatic without relying on nightshades or seed-based spices, which makes it a natural fit for anyone navigating the autoimmune protocol. Smashed garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme go into the pan alongside the chops, and the infused coconut oil gets spooned right over the meat as it finishes cooking — a simple technique that layers in serious flavor. Once the chops rest, a quick pan sauce comes together from bone broth and apple cider vinegar, lifting all those caramelized bits from the bottom of the skillet into something glossy and rich. That sauce alone is worth making this recipe. It serves four, so it's just as good for a family dinner as it is for meal-prepping protein for the week ahead. Finish with a scatter of fresh parsley if you have it, and dinner is done.
